well i did a fast search and nothing in detail. but i as well as all of you guys have a 5-yr engine and powertrain warrenty? but my question is. i have a injen intake which im not worried about but im planing on getting a manifold and high flow cat. i already have a cat back system but will the maifold and cat void the warrenty? because i dont want to put it on and have a part in the trany or engine FAIL and it really not being my fault and it not being coverd you know? any info will be great and i know i will void the car and what not unless i swap it back out.

 

unless it makes the engine run lean or the new routing of the new header/DP cause something to melt or overheat you should be fine. You are only freeing up power, not actually making more.

 

In theory no, but in reality yes. Anything not stock can be blamed for any problems you may have because the car is only designed for 205hp and you would be making more. Now, maybe you have a cool dealership that realizes that what you have done to the car is no big deal and probably didn't cause any failures, but that's not too likely. Most likely though they will blame it all on the intake since that is where all the power making starts and could alter your a/f causing some problems.

I think the best advice is that if you are really worried about your warranty don't mod. Other wise live on the edge a little and have some fun before you die and mod the crap out of it.

 

The main thing to remember is that what you replace holds up to blame...they can blame all they want though, they have to prove it in order for your warranty to be effectively voided.

If you put a new manifold on and your piston melts, they have to prove that your manifold (logically) caused your piston to melt.

Now, if you were to actually open up your engine, you might as well kiss it goodbye IF they can prove that you did open up your engine, which for the most part, technicians can tell if something was tampered. Any engine tampering, say bye bye. This goes for your PCM (hence the guys with HP Tuners).

 

ok so if its on there and say the CEL is on they can BLAIM it and what not or if anything happiens they have to prove that the part was at fault? i have worked at a dealer for over a yr but i never seen ANY thing changed on them cars but wheels. and i really didnt wanna get into changeing **** on my car because i would get the lecture from all the older guys haha. but thanks for the info guys.

 

I understand. Yes, thats basically it but it depends on what you want to do to your car, you might not necessarily even throw a CEL.
